I see your PR.

grant2258

@johnodon yes its been tested and fixed a lot of the paths where hardcoded to pwd ie teh directory your in when emulator runs. These all needed changed to contents dir for libretro. Ill look into the .dat crash when i get the time

johnodon

OK...I have a clean clone image of my machine. I'm going to restore it so I am back at a blank slate.

grant2258

@johnodon this wont effect your system at all just delete any files youve added. That just updating compiling the emulator. The sdl compile is another task in itself,

johnodon

@grant2258

Once the fix is committed, is this still correct?

cp -R assets/pics ~/RetroPie/roms/daphne/
cp -R assets/sound ~/RetroPie/roms/daphne/

grant2258

yes the saveme was was loaded separately it only the one wav that was the problem

johnodon

@grant2258 Didn't feel like waiting... :)

I compiled from your git (90f4a2c) and it worked straight away!

@grant2258 apologies for interrupting as I've been out for a while and it's not clear from the thread. First of all, great job in working this into libretro!

Is there any added compatibility versus the default Daphne we currently have on RetroPie? I'm specifically looking for Road Blaster compatibility as the PSX version is fine but the video quality is poor.

its not me doing the leg work on this its twin alphix. Im just doing little clean ups I would like to get it to a testable /usable state even withut sound atm. The core is identical atm doesnt mean bug fixes cant come though. Older emulators tend to get some loving when the libretroed up

Also compatible with x86. :D

@grant2258 thank you for the clarification. Exciting times then!

grant2258

@grant2258 What do you mean ?

@pjft Like you I,m a great fan of Road Blaster and other laserdisc games. Some of them I have the psx versions of LD games, but as you said: the video quality is poor. The LD arcade game versions are the better versions because the audio and video dont suffer with compressions... I would love to play games like Road Blaster, Badlands and American Laserdisc Games in retropie.

I'm praying for a succefull Daphne update on retropie.

Loving what you have done with Ruckage's theme! I still think it is the best one out there for simple kiosk use. Hope he expands it soon.

@stuart2773 Dear Stuart, I would like t know what you have done to run succefull games, like Badlands, Road Blaster and Time Gal on Daphne pi??? Theme games are out of Daphne pi compatibillity list. Your theme are very cool, I never saw he before.

@vikingrock

Badlands, Begas Battle, Firefox, Ninja Hayate, Road Blaster, Time Gal, Time Traveler, do not work in the current version, i have the mv2 & ogg files ready for whenever they become playable. im trying to get a full set of laserdisc games.

I like that optimistic approach. It's a shame that Daphne hasn't seen any updates or fixes lately, but with any luck this libretro port could change that.
